Slim Flashcards
“Candy looked a long time to Slim to try to find some reversal. And Slim gave him none”
“Slims eyes were level and unwinking. He nodded very slowly”
“Slim neither encouraged nor discouraged him. He just sat back quiet and receptive. “
“Carlson stepped back to let Slim precede him”
Mark of respect and reverence. Shows his place in the pack and how he is treated with consideration by the other men.
“Slim stood up slowly and with dignity”
“he moved with a majesty only achieved by royalty or master craftsmen”
It shows how high up the social scale he is on the ranch and also the qualities he has. The elegance and the intellect he has. You could also say he is on the ranch only because this is the only available work there is so perhaps before this he was a master trader. This shows how the economic depression has hit everyone.
“there was a gravity in his manner and a quiet so profound that all talk stopped when he spoke. His authority was so great that his word was taken on any subject, be it politics or love”
